Chapter 3214
When Momo and Lily heard these words, they instinctively tried to stop her.
"What are you talking about? Fade will be fine. Don't overthink it."
"Quin, don't be rash."
A smile appeared on Quin's face, but she did not say anything.
The two women wanted to say more, but Aldred and Jaguar stopped them with a sigh.
"Leave her be. She is stronger than we think."
"But..." Momo and Lily were still extremely worried.
Aldred understood their worries. He looked into the distance and said slowly, "I know that guy won't die so easily."
At the Central Square of Sea Stream City, Fade had been reduced to nothing but a pile of flesh and bones inside the Trapping Talisman.
Without taking a closer look, one would not be able to tell that that was a human being.
Firstson kept attacking Fade, but the latter remained silent.
Time ticked by. Ten minutes passed. Presently, there was only five minutes left before the time limit set by Jeremiah was over.
Leaning against the chair, Jeremiah, who was being served by four beautiful maids, opened his mouth to speak, "Firstson, it doesn't seem like your methods are very effective." Hearing this, cold beads of sweat lined Firstson's forehead. He was growing anxious.
"Mr. Jeremiah, I will make him surrender. Don't worry. I can do it."
Firstson promised.
Then, he turned around and looked at Fade. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "You've forced my hand."
After that, with a heavy snort, a metal object in the shape of a fish hook appeared in Firstson's palm, but it was much larger than an ordinary hook, almost one meter long. On the top of this fish hook was a small, sharp barb.
Just with a glance, one could imagine the pain brought by that weapon piercing into one's flesh.
Many people gasped and could not bear to watch any longer.
However, Fade still had no response.
Stab!
The hook pierced into Fade's body.
Even Fade couldn't help but tremble and let out a cry of pain.
Seeing this, Firstson's eyes lit up. "Here I thought you didn't feel any pain. It looks like you do after all!"
With a sneer, Firstson gripped onto the hook and started fishing it around inside Fade's skin.
The sharp barbs on the hook tugged underneath Fade's skin.
It cut open his flesh, bones, and nerves.
With each movement, Fade could feel his nervous system and organs being ripped apart.
An unspeakable pain spread from every part of his body to his brain.
The intense pain almost made him faint. However, before he could pass out, the immeasurable pain would wake him up again.
Even though it was Fade, he could not help but scream out miserably.
"Firstson, I won't let you get away with this."
Beside him, Janus could not bear to watch any longer. He gritted his teeth in anger.
However, he had no time to make his move.
Milosz snorted coldly and a burst of energy broke through the air like a long nail. It pierced through Janus and nailed him firmly to the ground, leaving him immobile. "Ah..."
Fade's painful cries resounded through the entire Sea Stream City.
"Have you had enough? Will you surrender?" Firstson's expression was savage.
With the fruit in his mouth, Jeremiah looked like he was enjoying a good show. He said casually, "Two minutes left."
Hearing this, Firstson went berserk. He exerted force into both his hands and dragged the huge fish hook as if he wanted to tear Fade's body apart.
Under this intense pain, Fade felt the invisible threads start to tense up.
Immediately, he took hold of the threads and tugged them towards him.
Soon, the gigantic World Tree started to tremble.
In the sky, the clouds swayed and the light rays flickered.
On the ground, the island shook, and the sea water roiled.
The entire world seemed to shake with him.
This unusual scene immediately drew everyone's attention.
"What's going on? Is there an earthquake?"
"The spatial channel is shaking. Is it going to rip?"
"It looks like it's going to collapse."
Even Jeremiah's face turned solemn as he raised his head to look.
Suddenly, he frowned. "What's going on with the World Tree?"
"What's going on? Is there an issue with the space? Or is it something else?"
Jeremiah was shouting in confusion.
Fade suddenly stood up with blood all over his body. He threw his head back and let out a roar. "Come back!"
The World Tree trembled violently and then cracked as if something had broken.
Following that, the channel tore apart. The image of the World Tree started to shrink.
Eventually, it became a shadow and headed into Fade's dantian abdomen.
"It's back!"
Fade instantly felt a cool and refreshing sensation fill his elixir core. An inexplicable sense of life filled his body.
The massive vitality contained in the World Tree quickly nourished his body and sped up his recovery.
At the same time, the elixir core started to circulate in his body and fused with his positive energy and martial essence.
He was no longer dripping in blood
Instead, he was rejuvenated. In fact, he felt much more awake than before. A strong surge of vitality spread through his body.
Boom!
With a wave of his hand, Fade smashed the hook-shaped weapon in Firstson's hand.
"You..." Firstson felt an emptiness in his hand. His face was filled with shock when he looked at Fade.
Jeremiah was equally surprised. He
withdrew his gaze from the
na
collapsed channel and looked over to Fade. Furiously, he screamed, "Your elixir core is the World Tree! How is this possible? How mortal from the Human Spirit World be able to refine the World Tree into an elixir core? That's impossible!"
"Kill him!"
Jeremiah roared in anger.
Firstson received his order and immediately took action.
"Boy, you deserve to die!"
His positive energy had reached the fifth stage of the Soul Refine Realm. It surged out and condensed into a long sword that he used to aim at Fade's head.
His attack was fierce and precise.
However, Fade wasn't worried. Instead, the corners of his mouth lifted up, and a cold smile appeared on his face. "Wrap!"
Fade yelled out. Countless wood essence released from his body like vines. They wrapped around Firstson's sword. Firstson exerted all his strength, but it was like trying to cut through cowhide. There was no way for his sword to break free.
